The lectures will give an overview/review of the
most common cardiac diseases in horses, including clinical signs,
diagnosis and treatment. The objectives are to understand normal
cardiovascular physiology, cardiac auscultation and special diagnostics
used in the horse to be able to generate a list of differential
diagnosis. Based on the findings and the knowledge of the natural
progression of cardiac diseases the student should be able to formulate
a prognosis for life expectancy and performance ability of the affected
horse.
